Headstrong Like Us

Keira 💫

​You’re cordially invited to the wedding of Maximoff Hale & Farrow Keene, and according to Celebrity Crush—the ceremony for this American prince and his tattooed bodyguard is going to be the event of the century. There will be no wedding crashers. Including but not limited to: hateful people, rabid fans, nosy paparazzi, and other so-called media. There will be no drama. None whatsoever. Because when you put three famous families and their hot bodyguards together, nothing will go down. There will be no fighting. No brawls, fists flying, verbal slingshots, or rifts that tear into craters. Lovers only! Everything will be perfect. Nothing will go amiss during the happiest, most anticipated occasion of the year. But then again… They don't call it the Hale Curse for nothing.

Ripley was the best part of this book hands down. I wish we could have gotten like a big argument with Grandma Calloway though

Este libro se merece todas las estrellas del mundo🤧

No puedo con todo lo que pasó, es todo tan perfecto para ellos. La planificación de la boda, los momentos en familia y la llegada de Ripley😭
Es todo lo que Moffy y Farrow merecen, para mí este ha sido el mejor libro de la serie hasta el momento y por mucho mi favorito. 

Siempre soy muy feliz de leer al core six como padres y me gustó mucho ver un poco más de Lilo y su relación con todos sus hijos. Es maravilloso ver lo mucho que han crecido y si, aún tienen sus fallas y momentos de debilidad pero siempre saben mantenerse fuertes para su familia🥺

La boda fue hermosa y admito que llore con los votos😭😭

Otra cosa que amo es la hermosa amistad que tienen Farrow y Donnelly, es muy lindo ver lo mucho que se apoyan mutuamente. Farrow cuida a Donnelly de su familia y Donnelly buscó la manera de que ellos pudieran quedarse a baby Ripley🤧

Me sorprende mucho leer el crecimiento de está segunda generación porque los vimos (leímos) nacer y ahora Moffy está casado y es papá y Jane está comprometida y en la espera de formar su propia familia😭😭 

En conclusión amé todo y estoy feliz por todos💗

Always a fan of Krista and Becca Richie’s writing! The sixth book of the Like Us Series is no different. I love Maximoff and Farrow, and of course I love catching glimpses of the parents and the family dynamics of the Hales, Cobalts and Meadows. Can’t wait to read the next one! 🥳

Besides the wedding and the girls squad getting into trouble this was a bit boring 

Nevertheless I'm always here for more drama

what i like about this series is that homophobia isn’t a major plot point, and there can be other issues to carry a story that isn’t predominantly triggering

IM A SOBBING WRECK AND I LOVE IT !!!
A perfect ending to my fave boys ever !!! #Marrow !!!!
Oh it was just so good everything about it was so good and just made me cry my eyes out so bad I’ve fully lost breath and sweating!!!
Moffy and Farrow have the kind of love that poets would write about and so beautiful !! Adored them !

#Marrow hands down the most beautiful and cutest ship I read this year. I have no words how gorgeously these books are written about them. IK have other couples to look forward to in this series but damn it this love story made me tear up,laugh and SWOON multiple times over 4 books. I am not regretting that I jumped to 6th book of the series just for them.

  The older I get, the more I'm accepting the fact that I can change. And I am changing. Even if you want me to stay the same.


Wedding bells are ringing for Maximoff Hale and Farrow Keene, and I couldn't be more happy if I tried. Those aren't tears in my eyes. I'm just *sniffling*...ah, heck, I'm totally an emotional wreck in the best way possible. That's what I like to refer to as the Ritchie Squared Hangover. Which is far more common than you could ever imagine but I genuinely adore the characters that these two create. I always, always want what's best for them, and I was so ready to see what fate had in store for these two! 

Headstrong Like Us was a completely emotional journey and honestly it was everything I wanted. And then some. And then some that I didn't know I wanted/needed. It's hard to explain without spoilers, but let me say this: Headstrong Like Us centered primarily around the upcoming wedding of Maximoff and Farrow (long live #MARROW) but it wasn't merely some kind of a "wedding story". 

What I love most about Krista Ritchie and Becca Ritchie's magical way of crafting true-to-life and beautifully flawed characters, and relationships, is how they incorporate elements of family. You can find biological family love and found family love in each of their novels, and they always write it in the most stunning and heartfelt of ways. In the case of Headstrong Like Us we see this glorious quality in living colour and, as always, it feels like we're amongst friends of our own. 

The novel itself was not quite what I was expecting. Part of me assumed it would be a wrap-up of the lovestory that is Marrow, but it was genuinely so much more than that. The growth that these two have gone through in the four books that they are center stage is unbelievably beautiful. We get to see them settling into this next chapter of their life after the events of Sinful Like Us (I know, they weren't the main focus but the end of that novel set a specific course for the rest of the series) and suddenly they are challenged with something new. 

Something, someone, that goes beyond their simple 'I dos' and changes their life for the better. I am so glad we got to see them embark on starting their own family and honestly it was something I never knew I wanted. (I'm not a 'settle down and have/adopt kids' type of person. I should have mentioned that.) With every new challenge, comes something all the more emotionally charged and lively. 

As always, we get to see our favourites from all three of the intertwining series: Addicted, Calloway Sisters and Like Us. We get a little foreshadowing of what's to come, and we get some beautiful moments between the families and friends featured. Most importantly, we see Marrow begin the path to the future in a way that was always meant to be--them, together, strong, and happy.
